How about a supercharger? You can keep engine spec fairly normal & run 8psi safely. Loads of torque & 40% power increase from standard.
Alloy headed 302 with Rotrex blower = 490bhp & 570lb torque

I've been to Carmel during Monterey week & its unbelievable what's parked up & the cars driving about. Highly recommended. The racing isn't as good as Goodwood but standing by the "corkscrew" is unique. And its sunny!

Loved the casual one handed steering. Has he sneaked in an electric power system?
Lucky there was no impact at chicane.

Brilliant fun. I see, like Lou, you chose the gentle sight seeing option in order to preserve your car for the rest of the trip. Power steering earns its keep. Not much traffic, what time of day was it?

Stunning. Looks great fun. If you hadn't driven like a granny the video would only be 15 min long!

Any one on tour got internet access? Us poor owners who have missed out would like to know how it's going.
